Report a Sighting
Ibis Sightings
Thank you for your interest in our project! If you have seen one of our banded or transmittered ibises, please report your sighting to us using the link above. We have marked birds several ways through different iterations of this project.
-
For the Band Resighting project, some ibises have bands on the upper leg, while some have bands on the lower leg.
-
For the GPS transmitter project, all ibis have a single band on the right upper leg, and some have a GPS transmitter.
You can submit observations two ways. Please read the instructions below for submitting an ibis sighting.
Example: This ibis (pictured at left) has a green band on the right leg, and a blue band over a black band on the left leg. This birds' unique band combination is "Green Blue Black (GBlBk)". The green band on the right leg signifies that this bird was captured at Promenade Plaza in Palm Beach Gardens, FL.
HAVE YOU SEEN THIS BIRD?

If you wish to contact us via email concerning a banded bird or a bird outfitted with a GPS Transmitter, email the following information to Anje Kidd at adk42123@uga.edu or the lead investigator, Dr. Sonia Hernandez at shernz@uga.edu.
